not sure if this is the right category for this thing :lol:

Anyone ever ride in one of these home made things?

This is my buddys dune buggy he just finished up and I thoughjt i would share. Its powered by a 4 cylinder 1600cc VW engine, it sounds pretty cool. And its road legal. Sold his sport bike and replaced it with this summer toy.

I've wanted to build one since I was 11. An air-cooled Volkswagen gasser would be nearly an obvious choice, but I also consider other engine options, including some light diesels...

Those are a blast. Never owned one but I've driven a few down on Padre Island.

Great fun!

We built one back in like 1976 using an old VW Bug. We had a blast on that thing. :thumbs:
